1. Introduction
The Moen Kurv F9126 is a 3-in-1 Water Filtration Pull-Down Kitchen Faucet designed to provide both filtered cold water and standard hot/cold tap water from a single fixture. This innovative design utilizes two separate internal water channels to prevent mixing of filtered and unfiltered water. The faucet features a chrome finish and is engineered for durability and ease of use.

5. Maintenance
5.1. Cleaning the Faucet
- Clean the chrome finish with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap.
